As if there is something in the uterus. Symptoms of uterine prolapse. Changes in appetite and taste preferences

You are planning to have a baby or, in any case, you are not against having a child in your family. This means that every month you anxiously listen to your body, trying to figure out if you are pregnant. There is still a week or two until the moment when the cherished two stripes show (or do not show), but changes in your body have already begun, and, often, their signs are quite obvious. But what do they mean?

Sibling mothers shared their impressions of the first days of pregnancy in the topic “ ", and we collected statistical data on the most common first signs of pregnancy.

Unusual sensations in the chest

24% women realized that they were pregnant due to the unusual condition of the mammary glands. It ranged from sudden growth (a size or more) to a feeling of “tightness in the nipples.” Most often, expectant mothers describe their sensations as “painful swelling.” For women expecting more than their first child, it seemed that their milk was starting to flow.

Changes in appetite and taste preferences

Almost the same ( 14% ) women either, or felt a strong appetite - they wanted to eat even at night. Contrary to popular belief, pregnant women are not always “craving for salty foods”; much more often, sweets are mentioned among the foods that suddenly become attractive: marshmallows, gingerbread cookies, candies.

: I couldn’t eat or drink, I reacted strongly to smells. I took a test - positive!

Frequent urge to urinate and bladder inflammation

5% women noted frequent urination, in some it became painful, as if it were inflamed Bladder, although only a few were diagnosed with cystitis.

: They appeared very discomfort, as with cystitis.

Emotional instability

4% expectant mothers noted that they became irritable, whiny, nervous, or suddenly stopped loving those activities that always gave them pleasure. Many people compare their condition with the sensations before menstruation (premenstrual syndrome, PMS). It should be noted that this symptom is probably more common, it’s just that not all women are able to objectively evaluate your behavior. If you have reason to believe that you are pregnant, listen to those around you; perhaps their comments are not nitpicking at all!

: Two days before the test, she started growling at her husband! I’m going crazy, I understand that I’m behaving inappropriately, but I can’t help it!

: And my first pregnancy started with fright. Well, I’m not very timid at all, but suddenly I started to flinch at the slightest sound.

Lower back pain

Approximately 4% women noted that they had pain in the lumbar region. Some describe them specifically as painful sensations in one or both ovaries, others felt pain “in the back,” “side and lower abdomen.”

: On the third day after conception, the left ovary became ill, my back ached, it became simply impossible to sit at work all day at the computer...

Heightened intuition

3% mothers “simply knew” about their condition from the first day after conception. Women also wrote that maternal feelings suddenly awoke in them, all thoughts were about pregnancy and children

: My suspicions began when I New Year They gave me a very cute baby doll, and I began to feel a very strange tenderness for him, which is definitely not my style. And when my husband lifted him by the leg, she completely fell into hysterics from horror!

: The very first sign, I think, was selective vision: wherever I look, there are either pregnant women or mothers.

: I physically didn’t have any sensations, I woke up one morning, and I was blinded (seriously) - I’m pregnant!

: I felt my first pregnancy the day after the supposed conception. I had a clear feeling that I was pregnant! In the morning we were walking to the car, and I asked my future husband: “What if I’m pregnant?”

Low-grade fever 📈

Sometimes in the first days after conception future mom feels like mild cold: the temperature rises to 37.0-37.2, it seems that the nose is stuffy, weakness and drowsiness occur.

2,5% The siblings who noted in the topic wrote that they had a fever, another 1% - that they had a subjective sensation of hot flashes.

: There was also constant temperature 37.0-37.3, felt sick and felt hot and cold. My nose was stuffy and I had a headache.

Sensitivity to odors

Another "hyped" early sign pregnancy, which occurred only in 2,5% expectant mothers - sudden sensitivity to smells, when a woman either smells a smell that others cannot smell, or is imbued with a sudden aversion to familiar smells. , as it turned out, this is observed quite rarely.

: I felt smells more acutely, especially gasoline and also the toilet (for example, in the subway or in places near bushes and corners where citizens like to relieve themselves).

Increased basal temperature

In the first days of pregnancy, but not everyone, of course, measures it. However 2,5% When planning a pregnancy, siblings noted the basal temperature chart and learned about their future motherhood in this way.

: Yes, and the most main feature! Basal temperature remained at 37.0 above. That’s when I realized that it was time to buy a test...

Various diseases that arose or worsened with the onset of pregnancy

U 1% women, diseases have arisen or worsened that are not directly related to conceiving and bearing a child. This probably happens because a pregnant woman’s immunity decreases slightly, and “dormant” infections become more active.

: And I got a terrible thrush - I’ve never had it before.

: This is already my third pregnancy, I find out by the fact that the same wisdom tooth is starting to bother me. Everyone goes to the dentist, and I go to the pharmacy for the test!

Suddenly…

Approximately 1% women note that even before they found out about pregnancy, they began to produce extraordinary effects on those around them. vivid impression: They received more compliments on their good looks, and men made it clear that they found them sexually attractive.

: But I have a very unusual symptom, and every time it’s the same. The men are literally starting to actively “stick” to each other. I don’t know what kind of vibes I’m emitting there, but it’s a fact. But I’m already an old lady! This was the first time this pregnancy showed up. New Year's corporate party husband, so from unexpected premonitions I almost fainted right there. Well, it's confirmed!

The uterus is a muscular structure that is supported by in the right place thanks to pelvic muscles and ligaments. And if these muscles or ligaments stretch or become weak, then prolapse or prolapse occurs. In medicine, this diagnosis is called “uterocele” or “uterine prolapse.”

Every woman has anatomical boundaries of the uterus, which under favorable conditions are not violated. Normally this is important female organ located in the pelvic area between the large intestine and bladder. Prolapse of the uterus leads to displacement of “neighboring” organs, which leads to additional problems.

Uterine prolapse can occur in women of any age, but in most cases it occurs in women who have had a vaginal birth. Ligament damage during pregnancy and childbirth, gravity, and loss of natural estrogen all combine to weaken muscles. pelvic floor. It has been established that almost 1/5 of all “female” operations are carried out specifically to correct prolapse or prolapse of the uterus.

Sometimes prolapse and prolapse of the uterus can occur in young women and girls. In this case, every year the prolapse progresses more and more and brings the young lady great amount troubles.

Types of prolapse and prolapse of the uterus

Prolapse of the uterus and its cervix (during examination, the gynecologist sees the cervix near the entrance to the genital slit, but it does not extend beyond the boundaries of the entrance to the vagina).
Partial prolapse (in a calm state, the cervix is located inside the vagina, but with tension it becomes visible from the genital slit).
Incomplete prolapse(the cervix is visible through the genital slit, but the body of the organ itself is not visible even when straining).
Complete prolapse (the body of the uterus extends beyond the vagina).

In foreign medicine, it is customary to divide uterine prolapse into stages, depending on its depth. In most cases others pelvic organs(for example, the bladder or bowels) also descend into the vagina, and the ovaries are located lower than usual.

The following 4 stages of uterocele are distinguished:

Stage 1 - the uterus is located in the upper half of the vagina.
Stage 2 - the uterus has dropped almost to the entrance to the vagina.
Stage 3 - the uterus protrudes from the genital slit.
Stage 4 - the organ completely falls out of the vagina.

What can cause prolapse?

The period of waiting for a child, especially cases of multiple pregnancies.
Problems with the intestines when it is observed constant bloating because of increased amount gases and overeating.
Chronic constipation can also lead to uterocele. The colon puts pressure on the uterus, especially if a woman wears tight clothes or shapewear.
Sedentary image life. When a woman at work spends the whole day in sitting position and does not pay enough attention to gymnastics.
Absence good nutrition and rest after pregnancy.
Obesity.
Intervention in the process of childbirth of a woman by inexperienced people.
2 or more pregnancies.
Vaginal birth, especially the risk increases when the newborn weighs more than 4 kg or during rapid labor.
Tumors or surgical trauma.
Loss of muscle tone due to aging and the natural decline in hormone levels.
Chronic cough and tension.

How can a woman determine that she has uterine prolapse or prolapse?

Main symptoms:

It feels like you are sitting on a small ball.
Difficult or painful sexual intercourse.
Frequent urination or lack of sensation of smooth filling of the bladder (immediately a strong urge to urinate without first feeling full).
Lower back pain.
Constant feeling fullness of the bladder and intestines.
The cervix or its body protrudes from the vagina.
Frequent recurrent bladder infections.
Feelings of heaviness and aching pain in the small pelvis.
Vaginal bleeding.
Increased discharge from the genital tract.
Constipation.
Painful menstruation.

Many of the signs of prolapse are worse when a woman stands or sits for long periods of time, and before and during menstruation.

Diagnostic methods. How will the doctor make a diagnosis?

If you notice symptoms of uterine prolapse, you need to contact a specialist as soon as possible. During gynecological examination The doctor will insert a dilator into the vagina and determine the presence and degree of prolapse. The gynecologist may ask you to push, as you would during childbirth, to determine whether the cervix or uterus itself is pushing beyond the vagina.

Further actions

If the doctor has diagnosed uterine prolapse, what should I do now?

Change your lifestyle. This includes proper nutrition, moderate and regular physical exercise, .
Lose weight if you are obese.
Avoid lifting and carrying heavy objects (more than 3kg).
Try to avoid straining. To do this, follow all measures to prevent constipation, colds. And for this you need to boost your immunity. Please note that smoking can cause a chronic cough, which in turn will worsen the symptoms of uterine prolapse.
Use pessary(pessary), if advised by a doctor.
May be assigned. But this will only happen if the risk from the operation is lower than from the consequences of prolapse, and also if the woman is planning a pregnancy in the future.

Hello, in my uterus, when I wash myself, there is a feeling that something is in the way, I felt it and it’s like a soft piece of meat at the bottom of the uterus and a white discharge, tell me what it could be, I think it’s not serious

ANSWERED: 07/08/2016

Hello, Nargiz. You probably palpate (feel with your hands) the cervix; vaginal discharge is normally present. Vaginal discharge is considered normal. light color– whitish, slightly yellowish, without a pronounced odor, liquid or mucous consistency. Normal discharge from the vagina also do not cause itching of the genitals. And finally, how often do you visit your gynecologist? Schedule an appointment with your gynecologist for vaginal examination.... Good luck. See you later.

Natural physiological changes as a cause

Many representatives of the fair sex encounter a situation where there is a feeling that something is twitching in the uterus long before conceiving a baby; usually this feeling is noticeable during menstruation. If the uterus contracts strongly and sharply during monthly cycle, the woman is in pain. Abbreviations are closely related to the process of change hormonal levels body. It becomes different when a woman is pregnant. Vibrations in the uterus medical specialists explained by large-scale hormonal changes in the body.

The condition of the uterus from the moment of pregnancy should be under special supervision and control. One of the main issues is its tone.

If it is low, it is dangerous for the health of the woman and child, but increased tone can lead to very severe consequences. If the reproductive organ palpably pulsates and the uterus begins to twitch, this indicates its hypertonicity. The muscles of the uterus actively contract; the result of this activity can be a miscarriage.

The uterus is pear-shaped and consists of three layers:

Perimetry
Myotria
Endometrium.

Its outer layer, the perimeter, is a membrane that protects the reproductive organ. The myotria is the second layer of the uterus and consists of muscles. Inner part The reproductive organ is covered by a mucous membrane - the endometrium. If the uterus begins to twitch, this is an active contraction of the myotria, but it does not go unnoticed for the inner and outer layers. The lining of the uterus, myotria and endometrium are closely interconnected. If one of the layers is damaged, destructive processes may begin in the other layers, which can cause inflammation of the uterus and disturbances in its functioning.

During pregnancy, the uterus enlarges 500 times. Stretching its muscles is a unique process, and it is this that causes vibrations of the uterus. At that time muscle cells- myocytes - begin to actively divide and at the same time new ones are formed muscle fibers, each of which will increase almost 12 times in length and 5 times in width. The uterus grows, and at the 20th week of pregnancy, the thinning of its walls begins, which should decrease by an average of 4-6 times. At this time, and not just at early While carrying a child, women feel vibration.

The video talks about the state of tone during pregnancy:

Normal condition of the uterus

Only during childbirth should the muscle tissue of the uterus be in an active state, because its main task is to help the baby who is born move through the birth process. birth canal. Any other time normal condition The uterus is considered when the myotria is relaxed. There is a group of hormones that provide the corresponding state: estriol, progesterone. Functioning during pregnancy hormonal system in women changes significantly; the lack of hormones that ensure a calm state of the uterus causes its vibration.

When the muscle layer is not in a relaxed state, doctors diagnose increased tone of the uterus, which contracts before the time required for this process. At this time, the muscles of the uterus also react to external stimuli, the role of which is played not only by the work of those located next to it internal organs, but also emotional condition women. Why is stress so dangerous for pregnant women? They negatively affect the functioning of all organs of the expectant mother. Even minor stress can disrupt the calm state of the uterus and provoke the onset of pulsating contractions of its muscle tissue.

It is possible to predict situations where hypertonicity will begin in the uterus if you have complete information about the state of a woman’s hormonal system. A lack of progesterone can provoke a number of diseases and abnormalities in the functioning of the genital organs. Hyperandrogenism, genital infantilism, hyperprolactinemia are caused by a lack of progesterone in female body. The term “hyperandrogenism” means that the expectant mother has male hormones in the body is increased. If this state of the hormonal system began even before the child was conceived, then disruptions will be indicated by excessive oily skin, heavy body hair, and irregularities in the regularity of the menstrual cycle.

Genital infantilism is considered not such a rare phenomenon. Underdevelopment of the genital organs directly affects the process of pregnancy.

If the uterus is small, it will reflexively contract and vibrate during the growth of the fetus. In such cases, the risk of miscarriage is quite high. Hyperprolactinemia can also be detected before pregnancy, because one of its symptoms is a delay in menstruation. At this time, a small amount of milk may be released from the nipples. This process in the female body occurs due to high content prolactin is a hormone responsible for the female mammary glands and reproductive system. Progesterone is produced in small quantities, which causes contraction of the muscles of the uterus and the absence of a calm state.

Causes of increased tone

Changes in the structure of the walls of the uterus can cause it increased tone. If a woman begins to have vibrations in the uterus, they will indicate the presence of benign tumor- fibroids. Improper growth of the inner shell can lead to vibrations. Modern means diagnostics can detect abnormal growth of this membrane and allow doctors to take timely measures. Inflammatory diseases appendages cause uterine hypertonicity. No less dangerous inflammatory processes in herself, because they become the cause strong pulsation muscle tissue of the reproductive organ.

If a woman has a multiple pregnancy, the risk of her developing uterine hypertonicity increases. Heavy physical activity before and during pregnancy can cause uterine hypertonicity. The condition of her muscles is affected by polyhydramnios, the large size of the gestating fetus and other factors. During pregnancy, it is extremely important to prevent any infectious diseases, which are one of the main reasons for increased uterine tone.

If vibrations in the uterine area are accompanied by pain and bloody or dark discharge from the vagina, a pregnant woman should immediately seek help from medical institution. Even if such signs are not observed during vibrations, the woman in labor should inform the attending physician about the vibrations she feels. Hypertonicity is diagnosed quite effectively by ultrasound and tonusometry. In some cases, to bring the tone of the uterus in order, the mother in labor is prescribed hormonal and special sedatives.
